Provide a way to monitor LEM Health with Orion NPM/SAM

It would be great if there was a way for SAM or NPM to monitor the health of LEM. We often find out a day later that LEM has had problems and is no longer consuming logs. We have opened cases and to this point have only been provided with an option to have LEM send a heartbeat email out once and hour. Sadly SAM has no way to alert on an email that does not arrive that we have been able to find.

A SAM template that monitors services on LEM would enable us to proactively monitor and trend the health of the system.

Is anyone watching this. Customers are demanding that LEM get monitored from one of the other SW productions. I have a drive fill up on my LEM and it was down for 3 weeks. It would really be nice to have NPM watching the hard drive sizes and other resources.

I agree with tsmith@dpath.com that this is causing issues and making LEM look bad. No way to monitor CPU or memory or drive space. Mine failed for almost a week before I noticed. Makes my users lose trust in the tools.
